And let’s join Kathryn, our leader in It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?, at Book Date.

It’s going to be another hot day, but should “drop down” to 99. Right now it is 77 degrees, and I think I should hurry out to the patio to sit with a cup of coffee…and write this post there. But no, I’m already settled in here. Sigh. Do you do that? Think of great plans that you dismiss because it’s easier not to change up the routine?

There is one routine that seems to continue, however: reading and blogging. So far I enjoy the comfort of this pattern. This week I read and reviewed three books, and I’m almost halfway through my fourth one…because it is sooo good! I stopped at midnight, though, mostly because my eyes were tired.

I found no special movies to watch this week, but I am still enjoying Sharp Objectson HBO. Also, I hope to see the new Mama Miamovie tomorrow…don’t judge! LOL. I love that music, and I’m a Meryl Streep fan. My daughter and her family are moving into their new house this weekend…and it’s going to be a challenge in this heat! I always seem to move in the summer months, too. So glad I’m not moving now, though. Maybe later…in ten years or so. LOL

Cute bday photo! So how good is Sharp Objects? I need to check it out. So far we are watching Season 7 of Homeland which is good as always. I think your Ruth Ware & Robyn Harding books will be quite fast & good reads! Enjoy your week but stay out of the Heat. 🙂

Thanks, Patty, I did a little patio cleaning up after I wrote my blog post, and then, more reading. Later I did some laundry and some dusting. Least favorite activities: dusting and vacuuming. Vacuuming tonight…or tomorrow morning. LOL

Moving when it’s really hot is such a pain. Best of luck to them and I hope they don’t suffer too much! I’ve been there- although maybe not in that kind of heat! We get humid and muggy but not usually close to 100…

Glad you had a good reading week. I have heard good things about sharp Objects. I don’t have HBO at the moment but I do hope to catch it down the road…

The Lies We Told looks great, and the new Ware book seems to be getting lots of love! I should get it…

My last three moves have been in June, and in the extreme heat. Poor planning? My daughter texted me that she had a lot of help and is finished moving in. Just needs to clean the former house, which belongs to my youngest son…and which he is selling. Hence the move.

I think I should plan to move in the fall…next time. Or never move again…LOL.

Thanks for stopping by, Greg, and I’ve been really glued to the pages of The Death of Mrs. Westaway.

Love the sparkly nails. They look awesome. We are having somewhat of a cooler weekend and I’m not upset one bit. I also got approved for The Lies We Told. I don’t remember requesting it but I’m sure I did. I haven’t watched Sharp Objects but I plan on doing so. Do you think Flynn will ever write another full length novel. Seems like it’s been forever. Have a wonderful week!

Thanks for stopping by, Barb, and I hope Flynn writes more. She does seem to get involved in the productions of her books-into-movies, though, so maybe that’s her focus now.

All of her full length books so far have been made into movies.

Lately I’ve been writing down my NetGalley requests, so I can be ready for them. I’ve had a couple land in my inbox that I didn’t request. One I decided to read anyway, and another one, no. I don’t like reading review books that I might not like.

Love the sparkly nails – I was wearing shimmering silver for last week’s premiere but it was a horror to get off! And of course I wouldn’t judge your film tastes – I’m usually to be found watching the latest Star Wars offering… Have a great week, Laurel:)

Thanks for visiting, Mary, and on one of my moves, I had movers who just dumped everything in the middle of the living room and left. And then I realized that the evaporative cooler wasn’t working (poor choice of a cooler to have in June!). We sweat profusely, and then figured it out!

Last time, I had movers that placed everything in the proper rooms…but that cost quite a bit. My daughter had young friends that helped. At my age, my friends are all older, too. Sigh.

Good luck to your daughter and family as they move. That’s something my husband and I are considering because the market is so good but I lack motivation so we’ll see what lies ahead.
The Colleen Hoover book is good – the first I’ve read of hers. I suspect her fans will love it. I love your new mani color!

I got so many books last week and I see yours and I think I want to read those! But I have to be realistic, a bit. I love the cover on the Ware book. I’m considering All Your Perfects on audio for review. I have to make some decisions today and tomorrow about what I will and won’t review from my email requests. Does Margaret like chocolate? I much prefer caramel or fruit desserts. Have a wonderful, coooler week. It’s going to rain all week here which means 80s instead of 90s but more humidity? Anne Books of My Heart

I love the manicure. Sparkle for the win! The Ruth Ware book looks like an absorbing read. I will be putting it on the endless TBR list right now (actually, I just checked and it is already on my TBR!). Have a wonderful week.

I would love to spend more time outside, but it’s so disgustingly hot! I can’t handle it. I’ve seen The Death of Mrs. Westaway everywhere. I love that cover. Have a great week and enjoy your new books!

Thanks for visiting, Candace, and you do need to watch Sharp Objects! Did you read the book? I read it in 2012 and went back to read my review. It gave me the chills, remembering the book…just as the show does now.

Ha! I hope you enjoy it, Kathy…it was different from the first version, but with the same great music…and some fun surprises.

Thanks for visiting. My daughter was lucky…she had lots of strong men to help her, including her husband. She always has a collection of helpers for anything she does. LOL. She texted in mid-afternoon that she had finished, and last night, she sent me a virtual tour. I used to be a really good and organized mover, and she seems to be following suit. I am now out of practice (my last move was 11 years ago!). I am not eager to make another move…and why should I? I love my little neighborhood of restaurants, movies, etc.

It seems like years since we’ve had such unbroken hot weather here in the UK – I’m fine in the daytime but the nights are not so good. I came home from work today and read for a bit in the garden before eating… I’m so glad you are enjoying (or maybe have enjoyed) The Death of Mrs Westaway and I do like the look of the Camilla Way book
